Working 2050

H Kapp Klote

Working 2050 is a speculative oral history.
Drawing on lessons from oral historians like Studs Terkel and science fiction writers like Adrienne Maree Brown and Octavia Butler, we interview people in 2020 about their work and ask them what they think everyday life will be like in 2050.
Those conversations, along with patterns in systems, history, and science, model one possible future, presented as fictional interviews with workers in the year 2050.
